Suppressor data? Anonymous 2016-01-02 00:07:33 Post No. 28393171 [Report] [View this topic]

Ok, I've looked all over and I can't find this. Trust me, I wouldn't be posting here unless I was desperate.

Where can I find a list of suppressors ranked by dB reduction for a given caliber?

Goddamn, you put this together yourself? Are you going off of advertised dB, or a third party test?

cool image, but this data doesn't mean much without an explanation of where the readings were taken, i.e. in a gun range, in a sound studio, outdoors, etc. but it does give a good representation of how quiet it gets with/without a suppressor.

Hey /k/. Which army MOS should I choose? I'm qualified to do any job so suggest any one. I'm currently an 11B in the national guard but have grown tired of it and want to do something else.

>National Guard

Going active army is going to be hard because not all MOS training carries over and they don't like to cross train you. You're probably going to be stuck at 11B unless you really fight for something else.

Why is it considered bad to shoot pilots while they are parachuting or when they hit the ground, but it is fine to shoot tank crewmen when they bail from a tank?

Its pretty much a leftover from the days of knights and traditionally commissioned officers. Helpless nobles and rich kids get taken for ransom, enlisted are bullet and sword repositories.

it is not

and it is a morale thing
tank crew men will have guns (heck they could snag top mounted mg if they are lucky), and will be trained in fighting if its necessary, they are a threat

parachuting pilot cannot fight back, landed pilot even if he is armed hardly can do fuck all

basically is immoral to kill someone who posses no threat to you

If all hell were to break lose and your country was getting invaded, what long range rifle would you use to defend it?

I currently have a remington 700 as of now but am considering other rifles.

Pistol matters more. You can hide them and they won't make you a target.

Are modern nations capable of achieving WW2 levels of military production? Or if the cold war went hot, would nations during the 60's/70's/80's be able to?

It's not really applicable because no nation would ever need to reach that level of production again because if you've lost that many men and equipment then the nukes are coming out.

I've seen a BAE seminar that showed how at a total war footing a Type 45 destroyer could be built in 6-8 months rather than three years though so it's probably possible.

Going to have to get into it becasue I was gifted a .38 S&W H&A that is way too much fun to shoot but can't find any .361 moulds, can I just drill out a .358 mould with a .360 bit? Also what is a good price per pound of black powder?

If you're serious, go over to castboolits

and then go see NOE

I have a .363 mold from NOE I got on a group buy a few years ago for my Webley, haven't had a chance to use it yet but the guy does have a solid rep.

NOE or accurate molds is the best place to get overlarge molds.

Accurate will let you design to your specs and they will make it. Guy is super helpful and friendly.

Why is the US spending so much money on non-STOVL versions of the F-35? This is the only version we need.

The F-35B has a reduced range and higher unit cost than the F-35C. It's far from a useless gimmick, but STOVL aircraft suffer from a bunch of limitations that prevent them from really being a feasible replacement for the entire fleet.
